Colored Circles (KPC2012) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

kablooey: Went to the City and couldn’t make it over here to check on it, which is a good sign that this is just out of my maintenance area. Going to let this one go for now, as the event isn’t going to happen again for a few years anyway.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the given coordinates. You must determine the real location by using the information below.

Yes, you knew it was coming when you saw teamajk at the top of the solvers list last month. Another puzzle in San Francisco! Well, maybe the local solvers can lead the way this month. I hope the retrieval won't be as horrible as for Building Blocks, but finding any cache in the City is going to have muggle issues.

Special Notes about the 2012 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with certitude. If you have worked as a team (or otherwise shared knowledge), please email me separately, so that points can be distributed correctly. All "point" scoring is arbitrary anyway, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration banquet). The real challenge is just to see whether you can solve all of these caches by the end of the year. To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.

Special Notes about this month's puzzle: The container is a nanocache.
